Pulling and pushing
Yelling and screaming
Kicking and hitting
I'm trying to get to you
Walls surround you
Keep me from entering
Made of bricks and cement
I cannot touch you
Tears flowing down a once dry face
Blood seeping from a once whole heart
Scars to always be there
Two daughters and a mother are slowly drifting
Rips and gashes
Anger and fury
Sweat and blood
Fear and confusion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With no one to rely on but each other
We begin to wonder why
What did we do
Why is she doing this
Friends and a house
Are said to be her only prized possessions
Whatever happened to her flesh and blood
Do her daughters mean nothing any more
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Five years down the road
Motherless sisters wed
No mother there to witness it
Never there to meet her grandchildren
There will never be anymore meaningless phone calls
No more gentle hugs
No more 'I Love Yous'
No more mom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My walls are coming down
Words flowing from my fingertips
I love you mom
I can't lose you at 16!
Pulling and pushing
Tears flowing down a once dry face
Yelling and screaming
A family is drifting.
